Baltimore mayor mourns 12-year-old girl killed at football game

A 12‑year‑old girl was shot dead in Baltimore, prompting an outpouring of grief from city officials. The incident occurred during an event that has been described in two ways: some reports say the shooting happened amid a fight over a carpark, while others state it took place at a junior football game. Both descriptions refer to the same fatal shooting of the young girl.

Police have opened an investigation into the shooting, but details about the circumstances, the identity of any suspects, or the motive have not been released. Authorities have not confirmed whether any arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott publicly expressed his sorrow over the loss of the child. In a statement, the mayor said he was “deeply saddened” by the tragedy and extended his condolences to the family and the broader community affected by the incident.

The mayor’s remarks called for community solidarity and urged residents to support one another during the difficult time. No further information about memorial services or additional city actions has been provided at this stage.
